Robbie Williams Reveals Why He Snubbed King Charles’ Coronation: It’s Not You, Chuck, It’s Cash

Buy Me A Coffee

Robbie Williams, the man who gave us Angels and an eternal excuse to bust out jazz hands, has come clean about why he turned down the gig of a lifetimeโ€”performing at King Charlesโ€™ coronation. Spoiler alert: It wasnโ€™t because he couldnโ€™t find his crown polish.

The 50-year-old British singer (and part-time cheeky monkey) is currently on a whirlwind press tour for Better Man, his upcoming movie musical. In true Robbie fashion, he spilled the tea during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live.

But wait, thereโ€™s more! Robbie and his equally fabulous wife, Ayda Field, also struck some regal poses at the Empire State Building on January 14. (When you skip the Kingโ€™s party, you might as well hang out at New Yorkโ€™s iconic tower instead. Makes sense, right?)

So, why did Robbie skip out on serenading the newly crowned King Charles? Drumroll, pleaseโ€ฆ

โ€œThere was a reason,โ€ Robbie confessed, channeling his inner James Bond-level intrigue. โ€œI was working. I got something I couldnโ€™t turn down because of money.โ€

Money! Glorious, shiny, in-your-face cash. Itโ€™s the same stuff that makes the world go roundโ€”and apparently makes Robbie miss out on tea with royalty.

Andy Cohen, ever the master of witty one-liners, chimed in with, โ€œAnd contracts.โ€ Yes, Andy, we all know you never break up with your wallet.

Robbie Williams turned down the chance to sing at a coronation because he was too busy being Better Manโ€”literally. Watch the full interview below for all the juicy bits, but donโ€™t blame us if you suddenly crave a Robbie playlist marathon.

Moral of the story: Even kings canโ€™t compete with a paycheck. Sorry, Charles.
